Afternoon everybody.
I just need to get something off my chest. It's quite a mouthful so I've put it after the jump. Thanks for all the support guys I feel so much better and it's mostly because of you! :)
Sorry to my team for not being at college today and not emailing the Martin but it wasn't on purpose I did email him just had the wrong address.
There are currently people in the class that seem to have a massive problem with me and I have absolutely no idea why. I don't recall ever doing anything to anybody that would make them feel like this and if I have and am just being an asshole I am really sorry. It would be great though if you actually spoke to me about it instead of seething quietly because believe it or not I just wanna be friends.
Not only do i wanna be friends but I honestly view the class as my extended family and I would go to the ends of the earth for anyone of you. Even if we angry at eachother because in a family even if you are angry it shouldn't affect the relationship. I get angry at people i love all the time, just ask Tim, but the underlying knowledge that underpins my relationships is that we going to know each other for an extremely long time and fighting is just a normal part of a healthy relationship.
What upsets me though is that I don't feel this in return and that is okay. Nobody owes me anything and I don't expect them too but I know I have to prove that I am worth your time, trust and love. I can't do that if you don't let me know what is going on and let me explain things from my perspective.
The entire reason I am fighting so hard for the SRC and South African Hospitality Students Society is because I want there to be a way that we can not only remain a part of each others lives in the future but help each other out and ultimately help ourselves in the process. If I have upset people by doing this then tell me to back down and I will stop being in so many faces all the time. I doubt though that there is anybody that wants this as badly as I do but if you would like a position on the SRC or feel you can do a better job than me then there are ways and means of letting the SRC know.
The SRC doe not belong to anybody or anything, it is designed for us as students to start functioning as an independant arm of the school, raising our own funds, hosting our own events and becoming closer as a group. I have a confession to make in that I did create a position for myself while I was writing the constitution and this was wrong. As a result it is only fair that at the first General Assembly we have a fair election where anybody that feels up for the job may become a candidate.
Lastly I want people to think if what they are doing is causing rifts in the class or breaking the class up. Everything I have done so far is to get the class closer and have as working together better. If you are going against this and causing problems within the class simply for your own sake then ask yourself if what you are doing makes sense.
Sorry for venting but I am having a rough day and I just needed to tell you that I love you guys. All of you.
Cheers
Justin
